A new bout has been added to WrestleMania 38.

WWE announced that Drew McIntyre will face Happy Corbin at WrestleMania Saturday on April 2.

Drew McIntyre vs. Happy Corbin

Here’s a little joke for you: A Scottish Warrior walks into a WWE ring hell-bent on getting retribution … can’t remember the rest without consulting Madcap Moss’ joke book, but however it goes, Happy Corbin might not be laughing after he goes one-on-one against Drew McIntyre on WrestleMania Saturday. Ba-Dum-Tss.

After suffering a two-on-one backstage attack from Corbin and Madcap Moss at WWE Day 1, McIntyre made a shocking return from a severe neck injury months earlier than expected to nearly win the 2022 Royal Rumble Match.

Although McIntyre eliminated Corbin and Moss during the free-for-all, the former WWE Champion made it clear that he wasn’t finished extracting his vengeance on the slapstick duo. Instead, McIntyre battled through interference by Corbin to conquer Madcap Moss in a brutal Falls Count Anywhere Match at WWE Elimination Chamber. Less than a week later, he defeated Moss again on SmackDown and has now cemented a showdown against Corbin at The Showcase of the Immortals.

Don’t miss the showdown pitting McIntyre against Corbin in the first night of WrestleMania 38, a two-night event, steaming live on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3, beginning at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
